 Did you know that nicotine is actually more addictive than heroin? Smoking just four cigarettes can give a person a 90% chance of becoming addicted. With tobacco use causing more deaths in the U.S. than Aids, automobile accidents, homicides, suicides, drug overdoses and fires combined, it's important that people are aware of the dangers of smoking. Dartmouth is focused on creating a tobacco-free campus, and here more resources can be found about both tobacco in general and tobacco cessation.
